I can imagine a way of showing myself
Where the swoop and slide
Of what is round about me
Is made more lovely
By the drape and the coverage and the layers
Of what is linear
Chin up walking like my form can
Withstand any glance
I work for the intricately curated
soft shape of breasts to waist
Stomach ache from curating
So that maybe I could be coveted
But when I hide it all in the outfits of my skater boy peers
I walk and sit and move like I know I could be loved
Where the swoop and slide
Of what is round about me
Is made more lovely
By the drape and the coverage and the layers
Of what is linear
Chin up walking like my form can
Withstand any glance
I work for the intricately curated
soft shape of breasts to waist
Stomach ache from curating
So that maybe I could be coveted
But when I hide it all in the outfits of my skater boy peers
I walk and sit and move like I know I could be loved
such stomach aches from curating!
